another project done

I know this is by no means as crafty or creative as most of the other projects linked up to






but it is one that has been on my to - do list for quite some time! I also busted some of my stash in the process.

As I mentioned in previous posts , I am in the process of arranging a tiny crafting corner for myself, in the corner of my bedroom. As part of this I was in need of somewhere to store magazines, print outs of tutorials, books, patterns etc.

But I didn't want to buy something to use, I am a real cheapo  a little thrifty and so kept a look out for something I could use for free! That something arrived with my Autumn / winter Next catalogue. The box was in 2 halves with a little perforated edge.




I asked Beebs to keep hers when it arrived so I would have 2. I have been using these as they are, since early summer. I am such a procrastinator!!

I used stashbusting September as my kick up the butt to finally cover them in scrapbook paper. I didnt have anything that would match my bedroom, but I used my favourite papers and I think they look cute. I have since decided to make my corner as colourful as possible!




They were pretty self explanatory to make, I drew around the edge of the box and cut the paper to fit. I hot glued the boxes together and then hot glued the paper on.




I, of course, had my usual crafting company lol.



Done!



 I am super happy, but a little annoyed with myself. It didn't even take 15 mins and I have been putting it off for months!

Better late than never ! Don't feel bad about procrastinating, it's so hard to fight it back. Just feel good you did it and it looks so cute! I need to check out the scrapbook papers at my local craft store for some goodies just like this (after the end of the stash busting month of course)

What a clever craft. It is always so hard to get started, I know. But the good thing is once you do get started its hard to stop.
